@dgm2006 no on the discovery channel it talked about what fish it imitated, i can't remember what that one was called but it wasn't a stingray. i thought it was too lol
@SwankEldorado I could swear you're right! It makes what looks like a head, then seems to try to thicken its appendages to arm-thickness... could it be that their reaction to us is essentially the same as our reaction to them? "HOLY--WTF is THAT? It's INCREDIBLE!"
looked to me like it was first trying to look something like a turtle.... then it went into some sort of crab-like thing... and then if floated away like a starfish, and finally went into some kind of scorpion-looking animal. then it just gave up and went back into trying to look like either a turtle, or more likely.... a clam. (?)
for a second i thought it honestly looked like jesus...

It honestly looks to me like it's trying to imitate one of the divers there for a bit. Which is beyond incredible.

i thought it was a scorpion at first too but why would an octopus know what a scorpion is?
i think its supposed to be a lobster?
